Self-killed. Failed by Kevan.

Add a dynastic rule called “The Wire” with text as follows:
An Editor may cause his Newspaper to Publish a Story from the Wire. The Wire is the website “PLACEHOLDER” and may be referred to as the Wire . A Story is a news article at the Wire with a unique web address and headline. An Editor may only Publish a particular Story from the Wire within 24 hours after the Wire posts that news article, according to the timestamp on that news article’s page on the Wire . An Editor Publishes a Story from the Wire by posting a blog comment that consists of the Story’s headline, and a web link to that Story’s web page at the Wire. Once an Editor causes his Newspaper to Publish a particular Story, no other Newspaper may Publish that Story.
If more than half of the EVCs to this Proposal include the same particular website address, then substitute that website address for “PLACEHOLDER” in the rule “The Wire”. Otherwise, substitute http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/fronts/HOME?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME for “PLACEHOLDER” in the rule “The Wire”.
Seems… a bit much. Also the “Story” doesn’t even need body text to count.
Though I agree with both IceFromHell and RaichuKFM, I just couldn’t resist including the address 
IceFromHell:
I’m not sure I’d like this concept to be expanded, for instance, in a “news hunting Dynasty”. Inventing funny news would be a lot more interesting concept. Also, if we’re going for Victorian/Edwardian era, this doesn’t seems to fit the theme.
